About

Nigel Suggett qualified in 1994 from Oxford University and he completed his Basic Surgical Training and Higher Specialist Training in Surgery in the West Midlands. He completed a research degree in colorectal cancer in Birmingham University before being appointed at The Queen Elizabeth Hospital in 2006.

He is a well established consultant who has extensive experience in general and colorectal surgery. He is particularly recognised for his experience in hernia surgery which ranges from 'simple' inguinal hernias to very complex recurrent incisional hernias and abdominal wall reconstruction with the use of adjuncts such as botox, pneumoperitoneum and component separation techniques. He works jointly with gynaecology colleagues in the management of endometriosis involving the bowel.

He also has many years of experience in the diagnosis and treatment of colo-rectal (bowel) cancer and inflammatory bowel disease (ulcerative colitis and crohn's disease) as well as benign colorectal problems such as diverticulitis, haemorrhoids, fissures, fistulas and pilonidal sinus disease.

He is a fully trained endoscopist and laparoscopic surgeon and therefore able to offer a variety of minimally invasive approaches where possible.

He practices at the BMI Priory and Edgbaston Hospitals as well as his NHS practice at the Queen Elizabeth.

Explanation

Maybe I was unlucky, but the main hernia surgery was not successful so no change to where I was prior to the surgery. Have been in touch since with Mr Suggett who has kindly arranged a scan to see if further surgery can finally cure the hernia. scan will take place in the next week.

Reply from Nigel Suggett

Thank you for your review. I’m sorry that you haven’t had a better outcome from your surgery on this occasion. Parastomal hernias are unfortunately very difficult to fix reliably but will certainly do my best to advise you and offer further surgery if needed after the scan.

Mr Suggett was very informative at our first meeting. He was professional on every occasion that he spoke to myself and also included my husband. He took time to ensure that my recovery was going to plan. It was a pleasure to be treated by him. I felt very much at ease and fully trusted his judgement and treatment. He showed a caring nature to the wellness of his patient.
